Hello out there!
Wow, what an experience this has been. Ups and downs, highs and lows. I finally got my cast off, for good hopefully! I left with some minor cuts and bruises, better than I expected. And I am happy to say that I actually feel like I improved over this period of 8 weeks. This last cast definitely did its job, and I feel motivated to keep my progress up. I’ve decided to go see my therapist (something I rarely do) and have her re-evaluate me since I have not been in to see her since July! I am sure she will be happy to see me, and all the progress I’ve made. To also ensure that I will keep up with stretching on my own, I plan to create a little schedule of a stretching routine to keep me on task, and hold me somewhat accountable to do my stretches without having someone ( aka my mom) always on my case. I want to trust myself to do the right thing, because I feel like I don’t want to let myself down after all I put myself through. It’s going to suck, no doubt, but it’ll be good for me to learn how to really be independent and take care of myself. I don’t want to have that feeling of regret or hatred towards my actions any more. This is a new start! I will do this. I’m making a promise to all of you, my mom, my doctor and therapist…all of whom I do not want to disappoint. More importantly I am making this promise to myself to stretch progressively more frequently. And maybe, I can make it a part of my daily routine. I have continuously disappointed myself over the years, and I am sick and tired of having that feeling in the back of my mind. It’s time I accept my CP for what it is, and move forward though, no use in looking to my past mistakes. My present and my future health is all up to me. I’m just going to try and think of it as something I needto do. Like eating right, and exercising, stretching, for us CPer’s is equally as important. In turn, I hope this will better my running and agility skills. It’s all positive vibes from here on out. Thank you mom and papa for being so supportive of me, even when I was being stubborn and stressed. I appreciate all you do for me. Love you everyday.
Do you want to hear about what an eventful day I’ve had? Ok, well Ill tell you anyways haha.
So my sister Sara and I were driving home from school when some friends wanted to meet up for lunch downtown about a mile away. We’ve never hung out with them outside of school, but we thought sure, sounds fun! We offered to drive since it looked like it was about to rain, and they were going to walk. Of course the only time we drive them, we get pulled over by and oh so intimidating police officer. I know right, scary! Sara was driving, and the officer pulls up and informs her that she was speeding 13 miles over the speed limit. She’s freaking out right about now, and we’re all just sitting there nervously. He calls her back once she gave him her license and registration, and asks her who her dad is, noticing our last name. Luck has it that my dad does nutrition and bodybuilding seminars for hundreds of police officers all over Orange County! He also recognized her relation to my brother who just recently got in a car accident…and we got off with a warning! Thank you Papa and Matt Fetters! And Officer Smiley! Yes, that’s really his name. Haha but wow, what a day. Of course that’ll make for a great story at school with all our friends! :p
Anyways, just thought you’d enjoy a little dose of drama for the day. Quite a day in the life of me.
How are you all doing? I know finals are in full swing out here, what about you all?
Enjoy the rest of your week.

Ah, but finals are a short three weeks away! Yikes! Major study sessions are on my agenda for sure.
I would appreciate anything at this point.
